What You Can Do

Fight For Freelancers USA is a nonpartisan, self-funded, grassroots, ad hoc coalition that advocates to stop freelance busting.

Stop Freelance Busting

Contact your U.S. lawmakers

Call, email, write and tweet your U.S. lawmakers. Insist that they remove the ABC Test and any similar, freelance-busting regulatory language from legislation and regulations. Tell them how you earn a living, and why you prefer to be an independent contractor.

Find your member of the U.S. House of Representatives by ZIP code here: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative

Get published

Write op-eds and letters to the editor in your local papers. Explain why you prefer to be self-employed, and that you want to remain self-employed.

If you are a freelance writer, then pitch articles to mainstream, trade and other publications explaining how freelance busting damages or destroys careers and lives in hundreds of professions.

Check out previously published op-eds and articles for ideas, and feel free to quote from these studies and polls that show the majority of freelancers and independent contractors do not want to be traditional employees.

Encourage others to join us

Tell everyone you know who gets paid on a 1099, or who pays people on a 1099, to join the fight and speak out against freelance busting. Lawmakers need to understand that these bad policies harm their constituents.
